BAND TO PERFORM AT READING AND LEEDS FESTIVALS IN THE
U.K.
IN AUGUST
"ALL THE HEAVY LIFTING" LIVE VIDEO COMING SOON
Mastodon have announced that they hit the road in
Europe, performing both major festivals, including Pinkpop, Sonisphere, and
Nova Rock, as well as headlining shows beginning May 23rd and
continuing through the end of June. Mastodon will also perform at both the
Reading and Leeds Festivals in the U.K. in August. Mastodon have always
commanded a high press profile abroad and THE HUNTER continues
to amaze fan and critics alike. Kerrang! Magazine, the UK's leading
hard rock publication has nominated Mastodon in both "Best
Album," and "Best Video: "Curl Of The
Burl" at this year's Kerrang! Awards set for June 7th,
in London. Click here for further info.
Mastodon are touring in support of their critically
acclaimed current album The Hunter, which entered the Billboard Top
200 Album chart in the Top 10 and found its way onto several Year End/Best Of
critics' lists, including those compiled by Rolling Stone, Spin, Revolver, Decibel and
many more. A video for the current single, "Dry Bone Valley," shot
live at London's Brixton Academy, has been posted here. Another live video clip from the same show for
"All The Heavy Lifting," is being readied for release now. Details to
be revealed soon.
The band travels to Europe a few days after performing at
this year's Rock on the Range Festival on May 20th.
Mastodon have been on the road since early April co-headlining a triumphant U.S.
tour with Swedish metal band Opeth and special guest Ghost that wraps on May 12th with
a show in Mastodon's hometown Atlanta at The Masquerade. As ever, the press
remains in thrall of Mastodon's powerful presence:
"Sinewy tendrils that wrap around your ankles and pull
you into the deep end. by the time the band closed out the show with the
almost-pretty "The Sparrow," it was hard not to feel like you had
been a part of something grand in scale.・- GuitarWorld.Com
"Mastodon
came out heavy from the start and stayed in that gear for most of its set. The
impressive Mastodon does a lot of things in double -- the dual vocals of Brent
Hinds and Troy Sanders, the synchronized guitars of Hinds and Bill Kelliher and
the drumming of Brann Dailor, who often sounds like two people...all of which
kept the mosh pit in motion." -- Pittsburgh Post Gazette
"Like the beast it's named after, Atlanta's Mastodon makes a hell of a racket. In just over a
decade, the band has released five albums and each has been better than the
last, culminating in 2011's The Hunter." - Dallas
